Jandaman, I'll answer the question from last week's thread: Yes, I was in Bavaria. :-) My first month there I ate more pastries with "vanilla sauce" than I had in my entire life. I wasn't trying to lose weight when I moved there (I'd given up), but I rode my bicycle everywhere every single day and after six months, noticed that my clothing was falling off. That motivated me to add an extra 15-30 minutes of biking each day. Once I was out of plus size clothing, I joined a gym and dieted "once in a while." I'm convinced the weight fell off while I was there because of the cycling and the fact that I didn't eat any preservatives (other than those found in Dickmann's. Thank heavens those aren't sold in the US!)
B:zucchini, ham omlette cherry tomatoes
S: cashews
L: lettuce wrap cheeseburger and greek salad
S: latté
D: broccoli quiche and rapunzel salad
D: greek yogurt w/flaxseeds
EliseVi that sounds awesome..so glad you had such a great experience here! i also don't own a car but have gotten lazy (take the tram everywhere).
But you are right, the infrastructure here makes every day exercise much easier! *sigh* now you've gone and inspired me...i'll have to wrangle my bike outta the cellar!
B: 1 egg + 2 eggs' whites, LC, tumeric, whole wheat English muffin, coffee with a cup of skim milk.
L: turkey burger, salad, cauliflower and watercress (and white potato, ugh) soup
D: TBD..friend is taking me out since it seems my life is falling apart.
Jandaman, I'm delighted if I've inspired you to pull out your bike! So many people on this board have inspired me and kept my spirits up....makes me smile if I can help / support a fellow 3FC-er. By the way, I don't think there is such a thing as TMI on these boards! :-) I'm so grateful for these boards. I got a truly torturous email from my ex this morning that almost sent me over the edge. Instead, I'm going to focus on being FIT and on plan today. The more I do for myself, the less I can allow him to torture me.
Bah! Thanks for starting this. Completely forgot yesterday!

I am FREAKING out. Was with my mother at surgeon's today and she is having open-heart surgery next week. The surgeon told her she had a few weeks before she'd go into total heart failure. I'm still negotiating with her about when she is having surgery because she wants to put it off. When I'm not thinking about her surgery, I'm thinking about every former binge food of mine. Foods I haven't even thought about since December.
I am telling myself: the only thing I can control is what I put into my mouth. If I go and binge, it won't help anything. I am typing this here because it is helping me feel a little bit grounded. Thanks for the opportunity to vent, yet again, on this board.
Elise - that is horrible news but I hope you were able to convince her to do it sooner! I am proud of you for resisting. I used food to make me feel better and now it just doesn't anymore. It's hard to break old habits so good on you for doing it!

Thank you Jandaman and Jenne. Your kind words (and emoticons) really mean a lot and feel like a virtual hug. I'll take all the support I can get. (Connections from folks I've never met on 3FC are MUCH more helpful than anything my old frenemies Ben & Jerry can offer!)
OK, today has been a weird food day for me. I've gone to the other extreme...all of my nerves are in my tummy so it's hard to eat.
B: oatmeal made with skim milk and laughing cow lite
L: part of a salad with 1/3 avocado, a few beets (P2?!), chicken and green veggies
S: coffee with skim
D: Turkey meatballs and baked kale. (Making turkey meatballs cause they are labor intensive and sometimes playing with food while ya prepare it is therapeutic! ;-) I know this means carbs at night (usually a no-no for me), but if that's my greatest sin today, I think that means I'm still being kind to myself.)
So, it's set. My mom will be admitted to the hospital on Tuesday and have the surgery on Wednesday. I will be accepting all prayers, positive intentions, healing vibrations and loving energy for her that anyone can spare. :-)
On-plan thread: 2/18 - 2/24
i also don't own a car but have gotten lazy (take the tram everywhere).
